An Uxbridge man was arrested and charged with attempted murder after a stabbing on Sunday that sent one man to the hospital with several stab wounds to the chest.

At 10:20 p.m. Sunday, police responded to 70 East Main St. for a disturbance and found a man with stab wounds. The man and his girlfriend, police said, identified the attacker and an accomplice who fled the scene.

The victim, 32, who police are not identifying, suffered multiple stab wounds to the left side of his chest and left shoulder area, police said. As a result of his injuries, he also suffered a collapsed lung, police said.

He was taken to Milford Regional Medical Center and later to UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester by ambulance because the life flight helicopter was grounded due to weather conditions. Police reported he was in stable condition on Monday.

John C. McKissick, Jr., 28, of 14 Meadow Road, was arrested on Monday in North Smithfield, R.I., on a warrant with the assistance of the North Smithfield and Rhode Island State Police.

McKissick is being charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a knife, police said.

According to police, McKissick is the ex-boyfriend of the victim’s girlfriend.

Police were talking with the alleged accomplice, according to Det. Jay Ball, but no other arrests were made in the case on Monday.
